‘20/20’ AIRS IN-DEPTH REPORT ON EXTREMIST GROUPS, THE RESPONSE TO HATE SPEECH AND A TIPPING POINT FUELED BY A CONTENTIOUS POLITICAL CLIMATE
‘Fractured America: Extremism in the Streets’ Airs on ‘20/20’ Friday, August 18, on ABC
The hour report also features organizations on the far left, including the Anarchism and Anti-Fascist (Antifa) groups that have made it their mission to stop hate speech, which they consider to be a form of violence, by protesting and in some cases disrupting public events, speeches or rallies that white nationalists organize. Critics charge that Antifa members are restricting free speech. While some members of these groups do resort to violence themselves, they claim they are acting to protect the rights of minorities that are under threat. The report also includes interviews with outspoken Antifa members Lacy MacAuley and Daryle Lamont Jenkins.
“Fractured America: Extremism in the Streets” airs on “20/20” FRIDAY, AUGUST 18 (10:00–11:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC.
“20/20” is anchored by Elizabeth Vargas and David Muir. David Sloan is senior executive producer.
